Sheikh Maktoum highlighted the robust cooperation shared between the two nations across the economic spectrum and looked at ways to further strengthen partnership in sectors key to shaping the future including energy, advanced technology, digital transformation, manufacturing, research and development and innovation.
The two sides emphasised the importance of intensifying efforts to exchange expertise in sectors like investment, trade and tourism and touched on the prospects for stronger ties within the framework of expanding GCC-ASEAN cooperation.
